Where do we go FA or Draft

[kgun12]

With our cap projections, it doesn’t look like Edmunds will be on this team if we want him or not. Here is a list of the UFA ILB’s from Spotrac. I don’t watch my other games the Bills aren’t in, who would you like and how much will it cost.


Deion Jones ILB CLE UFA -
Lavonte David ILB TB UFA Market Value
Devin Bush ILB PIT UFA Market Value
Anthony Walker Jr. ILB CLE UFA Market Value
Tyler Matakevich ILB BUF UFA -
Tremaine Edmunds ILB BUF UFA Market Value
Denzel Perryman ILB LV UFA -
Cory Littleton ILB CAR UFA -
Kyle Van Noy ILB LAC UFA -
Alex Anzalone ILB DET UFA -
Neville Hewitt ILB HOU UFA -
Ezekiel Turner ILB ARI UFA -
Kwon Alexander ILB NYJ UFA -
Raekwon McMillan ILB NE UFA -
Jayon Brown ILB LV UFA -

Re: Where do we go FA or Draft

As many articles have stated the last few days, the Bills need to redo a lot of deals just to get under the cap.

Cart before horse.

I think we have to use a draft pick on a ILB. Pick one early, or see if you can trade a cheap one to Jax for Muma or Philly for Dean.

We need to hit gold in the draft.

We need to hit gold in the draft.

anyone we draft usually does not make any significant impacts in their rookie year since we love rotating players which stunts a rookies growth. Even the ones we did throw to the wolves took time to develop. Josh and Edmunds.

Don’t you think they are ready for this? Like I’ve said before, it’s not like Beane just realized they would be over the cap. Their plans are already set even the decision on who they want to keep, cut or let walk.

I'm sure they've taken all into account already as you suggested.

They are at work right now with their approach to it.

The job never ends.

Excellent points!

Rotating has beneficial effects as well as the not knowing what you really have in a young player.

Sometimes you just gotta throw em in the deep end and see if they can swim.

If we could learn to take what's given on offense, that doesn't mean don't take your shots just set em up better and be a lot more aggressive on defense I'd be pleased.

Maybe we’re due to hit on immediate impact player!

We did with Diggs and Miller (pre-injury)

Re: Where do we go FA or Draft

A simple restructure of Allen's base salary will get them under the cap, and then there are multiple other moves that will create some spending room. I don't expect any big moves, but they'll get some re-signings done and bring in a few mid-tier guys.

I expect Edmunds to be the priority re-signing and based on how Beane and McD talk about him I think it will get done. Keep in mind that Von Miller's 6 year $120 mil deal last year only had a $5 mil cap hit in year 1. Even if Edmunds gets a high APY contract they can structure it to work for 2023.

It would be most beneficial if could be a draft pick.

example Micah Parsons.

I was referring to your comment on our DRAFT picks don’t make a significant impact. That’s why I said this: “ Maybe we’re due to hit on immediate impact player.”

Draft pick impact!

Do we have the right coaches to take advantage of such an event?

If not we better make a change sooner rather than later.
